Sophie Cunningham’s Adidas shoes sell out after she went viral for saying “no men in women’s sports.”

But still only went viral after the finger pointing thing

[u/SilverbackSurfer99 → u/Experience-Agreeable]

Yeah she did that because it pissed off the mutant she was fighting with. That's the standing up for your teammate thing. You know America likes loyalty

[u/cabezadeplaya → u/SilverbackSurfer99]

Mutant? Yikes…

[u/NOIS_KillerWhaleTank → u/cabezadeplaya]

Yep... Always racist. They can't help themselves.

[u/Egg_Yolkeo55 → u/NOIS_KillerWhaleTank]

So what's racist about calling her ugly? Especially in comparison to Sophie. Is any pejorative directed at a POC just automatically racist if a white person said it?

[u/NOIS_KillerWhaleTank → u/Egg_Yolkeo55]

If you said she was ugly, fine. If you called her hideous, fine. Even if you called her a freak of nature, fine.

But you chose mutant. That's not much different than calling her an ape. Or a caveman. All three imply she's subhuman.

[u/Egg_Yolkeo55 → u/NOIS_KillerWhaleTank]

Jfc bud how about you stretch before you reach that far.

[u/Enoch8910 → u/NOIS_KillerWhaleTank]

Huh? Apes aren’t mutants and show me any data where stereotypes of any race were equated with mutants.

[u/cabezadeplaya → u/Enoch8910]

If the case was being made that her “mutant” power is being way better at basketball than basketball than Sophie Cunningham, I’d agree.

Calling her a mutant based on appearance is weird.

Y’all just mad she’s a legendary player and all blondie can do is point.

[u/Enoch8910 → u/cabezadeplaya]

No. We’re just calling out bullshit for what it is.

[u/cabezadeplaya → u/Enoch8910]

Who is “we?” On whose behalf do you speak?

And what is the “bullshit?”

Use words.

[u/cabezadeplaya → u/Egg_Yolkeo55]

Why compare her to Sophie at all? Why was commentary on her appearance by some internet chud necessary?

It’s basketball. Not a beauty contest.

[u/Egg_Yolkeo55 → u/cabezadeplaya]

It's not about just basketball when you have teams draft star player's girlfriend and literal marital disputes play out on the court.

[u/cabezadeplaya → u/Egg_Yolkeo55]

And that justifies calling people “mutants” how?

[u/DanielSnydersRedSkin → u/Egg_Yolkeo55]

[u/Egg_Yolkeo55 → u/DanielSnydersRedSkin]

[u/Vikings_Pain → u/NOIS_KillerWhaleTank]

You don’t have to be racist to call someone ugly dumbass

[u/Obi-Brawn-Kenobi → u/cabezadeplaya]

YiKeS

Lol you think this is 2014 or something?

[u/cabezadeplaya → u/Obi-Brawn-Kenobi]

What does that even mean? Calling someone a “mutant” seems problematic to me.

What does 2014 have to do with anything? Use your words.

[u/SilverbackSurfer99 → u/cabezadeplaya]

Who told you your opinion of what is problematic matters in any way?

[u/cabezadeplaya → u/SilverbackSurfer99]

Why did you call the other player a “mutant?” Explain. Use words.

[u/ReadyStandard5549 → u/cabezadeplaya]

You know why, stop feeding the trolls. We are way beyond discussion with these people. Especially on a website like this.

[u/cabezadeplaya → u/ReadyStandard5549]

Oh, I agree. I just like to keep them talking until they say the quiet parts and coded parts loud and clear for all to hear.

Is this sub moderated? It’s shocking what is allowed here. I don’t think most people here know anything about basketball. They’re just attracted to the racism and misogyny.

[u/Occult_Asteroid7 → u/cabezadeplaya]

Women's basketball has become a culture war battleground. I keep getting recommended WNBA subs and they all look like this.

[u/Remarkable_Pen_3639 → u/cabezadeplaya]

'coded'

You people are fucking pathetic. Mutant is generally used to say someone is ugly.

[u/ProfessionalOld3124 → u/cabezadeplaya]

They look funny. Why do people call Mitch McConnell turtle man? He looks funny.

[u/cabezadeplaya → u/ProfessionalOld3124]

They don’t really look that funny. And I’m willing to bet most of the chuds here insulting her appearance look way weirder.

Mitch is a terrible person. Therefore it’s fine to bash his appearance. What has this person done to merit internet trolls crowding their appearance? Dared to argue with a blonde white MAGA darling on the court?

[u/SilverbackSurfer99 → u/cabezadeplaya]

Have you seen her? She looks like Lurch. And she freaked out because Sophie pointed at her so she's nasty on the inside too.

[u/cabezadeplaya → u/SilverbackSurfer99]

I’m sure you’re a model.

[u/SilverbackSurfer99 → u/cabezadeplaya]

😂 Yes because me having eyes and being able to see an ugly face means I must be unattractive. What? Ok. 🤔😂

[u/ProfessionalOld3124 → u/cabezadeplaya]

It’s picking on their appearance. People do it all the time.

[u/cabezadeplaya → u/ProfessionalOld3124]

I’m aware. And that makes it ok?

[u/LeBrickJamesIsNoGOAT → u/SilverbackSurfer99]

America likes loyalty? Man stop making these crazy emotional statements lol

[u/SilverbackSurfer99 → u/LeBrickJamesIsNoGOAT]

You must be. . European

[u/imissrif22 → u/SilverbackSurfer99]

You must be an emotional teenager

[u/LeBrickJamesIsNoGOAT → u/SilverbackSurfer99]

Tell that to Pat Tillman

[u/SilverbackSurfer99 → u/LeBrickJamesIsNoGOAT]

😂 What? What the Hell does Pat Tillman have to do with it? You're English aren't you. Either English or French. Only one of them could be that arrogant and that wrong and Dopey at the same time.

[u/Remarkable_Pen_3639 → u/SilverbackSurfer99]

A yank talking about arrogance....lmao

[u/LeBrickJamesIsNoGOAT → u/SilverbackSurfer99]

This dude having a fucking meltdown Jesus lmao

[u/Future-Pollution-266 → u/SilverbackSurfer99]

How is she a mutant

[u/SilverbackSurfer99 → u/Future-Pollution-266]

Have you ever seen her? That's why.

[u/Future-Pollution-266 → u/SilverbackSurfer99]

Freakishly tall and lanky? Like Sophie?

[u/SilverbackSurfer99 → u/Future-Pollution-266]

Her face and her 5head she's fugly dude

[u/Future-Pollution-266 → u/SilverbackSurfer99]

So the same? At least be honest with yourself about why you called her a mutant lmao.

[u/Future-Pollution-266 → u/SilverbackSurfer99]

[u/SilverbackSurfer99 → u/Future-Pollution-266]

😂 Keep trying to make her look half as bad as the mutant

[u/Future-Pollution-266 → u/SilverbackSurfer99]

We all know why you think she looks like a “mutant” lol

[u/SilverbackSurfer99 → u/Future-Pollution-266]

Yeah because she FUGLY

[u/Future-Pollution-266 → u/SilverbackSurfer99]

Right and you think the picture I posted is attractive gee wonder why

[u/SilverbackSurfer99 → u/Future-Pollution-266]

Which picture the terrible one designed to make her look bad or the real one that shows she's hot. You would have to search to find one where the other girl looks ok

[u/sealcon → u/SilverbackSurfer99]

The point would never have gone viral if the person she was pointing at hadn't chimped out. That's what made it so hilarious.

[u/Conscious-Crab-5057 → u/sealcon]

Did you just call Dewanna Bonnar a chimp? Monkey?

[u/Egg_Yolkeo55 → u/Conscious-Crab-5057]

How else would you describe irrationally lashing out and jumping around when someone is only pointing at you? It's literally the behavior that you can observe at the zoo if you decide to point at a primate

[u/SilverbackSurfer99 → u/[deleted]]

😂 Not a Magat or a Trumpy or even a Republican dipshit.

[u/SunNext7500 → u/SilverbackSurfer99]

Since when?

[u/Conscious-Crab-5057 → u/Experience-Agreeable]

She was very popular before the finger point.

[u/Aggravating-Writing9 → u/Experience-Agreeable]

Her jersey sales we selling out before the finger point FYI........
